Alan Hevesi arrested

From the NY Post:

Disgraced former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi is expected to plead guilty to at least one felony corruption charge this morning in connection with the huge pay-to-play state pension story that has rocked the office he once held.

Sources said Hevesi was due to appear in state Supreme Court in Manhattan at 9:30 a.m.

The sources said Hevesi had been taken into police custody earlier today.

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has been investigating Hevesi and several of his former top aides including his longtime political advisor, Hank Morris, in connection with kickbacks that were paid by investment companies to gain access to the massive state pension retirement fund.

That photo doesn't look like a mugshot...

Does senor Hevesi have to go through the "process" like all of us or does he skip the bookings and just get a Desk Appearance Ticket?

A public official like private citizens does not merit a perp walk or other dehumanizing acts. In the case of a public official, resignation from office under a cloud of suspicion at times is emotional distress enough for them to endure.

So, Anon-1, where does a private citizen go to "opt out" of a perp walk after an arrest? That's some handy information.

Hevesi = "Twerp Walk"

Seems he got his family first class vacations in Israel as part of the scandal. I was shocked to find out the Jewish connection. Cough cough.

He was arrested "by appointment". first he was indicted, then arrested on the indictment. So there wouldn't be any perp walk.

To anon no. 5: It's as surprising to see that as it is to see anti-semitic comments form someone like you. Cough, cough.

Agree with anon #8, let's focus on the real issue here - anti-semitism. Clearly the Honorable Mr. Hevesi is a victim of an anti-semitic conspiracy.

So he is a corrupt politician, comittes crimes while under the guise of Comptroller and the distress is enough for him to endure?

So he abuses his power and the emotional distress is enough. Are you fucking kidding me?

To anon no. 9:

You miss my point. Hevesi is the victim of nothing. He is the victimizer.

That's the real issue. bringing up anti-semitic crap is what's irrelevant.

No, it was about the September Primary. Joe Fox is out and there is no Republican running against Hevesi Lite. (or is there?). Obama's justice department wouldn't screw a local tweeding Dem, would it?

It is really a shame that this criminal's son is in the Democratic primary. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I do not believe the charges against Alan Hevesi. He is a white man. It is impossible for him to be a criminal!
